ESTATE PLANNING & ADMINISTRATION

Estate Planning is an action plan that sets out what you want when you have lost capacity and/or die, and prior to that, helps you build wealth while protecting your assets during your lifetime.

If you do not take control of your circumstances and take active steps to create your Estate Plan, tax and other legal advantages may not be available to you, and important decisions could be made on your behalf by someone you would not choose, at your expense, if you lose capacity or have passed away. These decisions could be made by entities of the State such as NCAT’s Guardianship Division and/or the Supreme Court, who may not make decisions in line with what you had wished for yourself and your family.  An Estate Plan will cover who is to manage your financial affairs and the type of lifestyle and care you wish to have, if you lose capacity to make those decisions for yourself. 

What is a Deceased Estate?

Put very simply, a deceased Estate is made up of the deceased’s assets and property at the time of death. It is important to note that there is a difference between Estate assets and non-Estate assets. Estate assets are assets that the deceased had sole legal ownership over and can be distributed expressly by a Will. This includes any real estate, money in bank accounts, motor vehicles, and investments such as shares, stocks and cryptocurrency (provided those investments are not held by someone else, such as through superannuation or a managed fund). It also includes property such as jewellery, personal possessions and household items belonging solely to the deceased at the time of death.

Non-Estate assets are assets that the deceased did not have sole legal ownership over. Examples include assets in joint ownership with another party, discretionary/family trusts, company assets, superannuation and life insurance proceeds.
